Fire Jim Harbaugh? Michigan fans are fed up after loss to rival Michigan State
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Michigan was getting a lot of well-deserved hype last weekend after dominating Minnesota in Week 1.
However, that hype train crashed and burned on Saturday against a Michigan State team that lost to Rutgers by 11 points last weekend. The Wolverines couldn’t get anything going against the Spartans, losing 27-24.
Here’s the play that put the game out of reach for the Wolverines:
RT if it’s time for Michigan to move on from Jim Harbaugh lol https://t.co/Mo2qfC0dym

Let’s just say Michigan fans are understandably upset. Many took to Twitter to call for Harbaugh to be fired after the embarrassing loss, which some call the worst loss in his 6 years in Ann Arbor:
This is Michigan's worst loss of the Jim Harbaugh era.

This isn’t hyperbole or a hot take or an impulsive reaction….if Jim Harbaugh loses this game, his tenure needs to be over. I don’t think Warde Manuel would ever make that move, but a loss to this MSU team in year six is unacceptable and unforgivable.

Might be the worst loss in Harbaugh era. Time to move on? This is embarrassing.

Harbaugh and Michigan in danger of getting taken down at home against a Michigan State team that was whipped by Rutgers last week. Collin Cowherd said Harbaugh was better than Saban a couple of years ago. ?

I will say it again. Jim Harbaugh is the most overrated football coach ever.

Michigan last 7 days

10-31 -Fire Harbaugh— Stevie Ray Yawn? The Mob Rules (@realgreatwang) October 31, 2020
I don’t think I can stand behind and support Jim Harbaugh any longer. @UMichFootball got DOMINATED by a team that lost to Rutgers just last week. 2nd worst loss in Michigan history, IMO. Rival and Bowl Games are our kryptonite.

Can I buy Jim Harbaugh for what he’s REALLY worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth? #MSUvsMICH #FireHarbaugh

Let’s just say fans aren’t going to put up with many more losses like this from Harbaugh. Can the Wolverines recover? Or, will Harbaugh’s tenure come to an end after another disappointing season?
